    Infants' ability to form verb-action associations2008Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Four- to eight-month-old infants (n=56) were examined on their ability to acquire verb meaning. In a visual preference procedure they were tested on their ability to form verb-action associations by detecting the correlation between auditory speech stimuli and actions presented in short movie clips on a screen. If associations were formed, they were expected to significantly modify their looking behavior after exposure, looking closer to the target than during baseline. Instead of measuring total looking time as response, distance to target was the chosen measure. Eight-month-olds as well as a reference group of adults acquired the verb-action associations. Thus, eight months is the youngest age at which verb meaning acquisition could be demonstrated so far.

    Promises, promises Mr. President: A study of commissive speech act usage in 21st century American presidential inaugural addresses.2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    The American president’s serving period always begin with an iconic inaugural address. It is a function wherein the president can unify the audience, ratify the ceremony, and present his political and administrative direction for his term. Promises are a vital rhetorical tool and strategy at the president’s disposal; however, they can also be a demerit if used incorrectly. Within the discipline of pragmatics, promises are included in the category of the commissive speech act: an utterance which binds the speaker to a future course of action. The focus of the present study is what proportion commissive speech acts are used in relation to other speech acts by the four American presidents inaugurated in the 21st century in their inaugural addresses, as well as how these commissive speech acts are realized in terms of various pragmatic features (e.g., vagueness, deictic use, selfpositive representation, and implicature). The methodological approach adopted in thisstudy is both qualitative as well as quantitative in character. To reflect this, the study was operationalized through speech act analysis and political discourse analysis. The findingsshowcase that the presidents affiliated with the Republican party make use of commissive speech acts to a higher degree than their Democratic counterparts. Donald J. Trump appears as a clear outlier with an exuberant amount of commissive speech acts in comparison with the other three presidents. Furthermore, the findings point out that the most common strategy in how commissive speech acts were realised was to shape them as an assertion and using the inclusive deixis “we”. However, Joseph R. Biden diverged from this pattern. Instead, he used explicit promises featuring the individual deixis “I”. In addition, he often employed rhetorical vagueness which made his promises hard to measure if upheld or not.

    Self-presentation in the asynchronous communication on Facebook in Kenya and Uganda2013Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Flows of languages, cultural forms and people both in real and virtual space are consequences of globalization. The mobility of people in the virtual sense is facilitated through the Internet, where one of the most popular ways of communication and self-presentation is currently through Facebook. This research focuses on analyzing the orthographic and lexical strategies in self-presentation on Kenyan and Ugandan Facebook profiles, trying to see whether the forms reflecting the East African variety of English are present in asynchronous communication and whether there is appropriation of other varieties and registers. This was done through a reiterative process of reading 10 Kenyan and 10 Ugandan Facebook profiles, comparing the findings with online data on informal sociolinguistic situations in Uganda and Kenya such as YouTube videos and comments, blogs and newspaper articles and through informal conversations with some Kenyans and Ugandans. The results showed that the local forms as described in the literature are used on Facebook and that there are forms unaccounted for in the literature but whose presence was confirmed in the online data and the informal conversations. Appropriation of American English and hip hop and Rastafari languages was found in the sample. It was inferred that English has several usages in the sample, which serve to express the neutral, the local and the appropriated meanings in the asynchronous communication on Facebook and that those meanings are used strategically for the creation of the desired identities.

    Communicative strategies in BELF negotiations: A qualitative study on misunderstandings and communicative strategies in BELF telephone negotiations2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The present paper focuses on exploring the usage of communicative strategies (CSs) by business professionals who use business English as a lingua franca (BELF) in telephone negotiations. The purpose of the study is also to analyze the occurrence of misunderstanding and non-understandings. The data consists of nine naturally-occurring spoken ‘buy-sell’ negotiations between business professionals from seven different countries around Europe and Asia.  The negotiations summed up to 1 hour and 30 minutes of recorded material. The transcripts of these negotiations were analyzed in detail by using the qualitative method ‘conversation analysis’ (CA). The results show that business professionals use CSs as pre-empting measures to prevent misunderstanding. In addition, CSs in the present data appear to be used to create cooperativeness and subsequently reach successful communication. The present study also found two scenarios where communicative breakdown occurred but were subsequently repaired through ‘clarity requests’, ‘confirmation checks’ and repetition. Lastly, the present paper recognizes that previous knowledge of the other party is an effective aspect in keeping upbeat negotiations and reaching mutual understanding.

    Automatisk taligenkänning som metod för att undersöka artikulationshastighet i svenska2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Den senaste tidens utveckling inom automatisk taligenkänning har lett till mindre resurskrävan-de och mer effektiva modeller. Detta innebär nya möjligheter för forskning kring spontant tal.I den här studien används Kungliga Bibliotekets svenska version av Wav2Vec 2.0 och en tal-korpus skapas utifrån ljudklipp från Sveriges Radio för att undersöka artikulationshastighet ispontant tal. Artikulationshastighet har setts ha en negativ korrelation till informationsdensiteti tidigare studier. Utifrån Uniform Information Density-hypotesens antagande; att talare strävarefter att jämna ut distributionen av information i ett yttrande, undersöks om de sammanlagdadependenslängderna mellan alla huvud och dependenter i meningar är korrelerat med artiku-lationshastigheten. Studien visar att metoden där artikulationshastighet beräknas med hjälp avKB:s Wav2Vec 2.0 leder till systematiskt högre artikulationshastighet än vid en manuell beräk-ning. Samt att korrelationen mellan antal stavelser i ett ord och artikulationshastighet blir denomvända mot vad tidigare studier med manuella metoder visat. Hypotesen att längre depen-denslängd skulle vara relaterat till högre artikulationshastighet får inget stöd i studien. Iställetses en motsatt effekt av minskande artikulationshastighet i relation till ökande dependenslängd.Studien belyser behovet av en modell specialiserad för beräkning av duration för att vidare ut-forska artikulationshastighet genom automatisk taligenkänning.

    Suecia sin anestesia: Un estudio sobre el bajo rendimiento de los alumnos suecos en el español como idioma moderno2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El español es el idioma moderno que la mayoría de los alumnos suecos prefieren estudiar en la escuela secundaria y en el bachillerato. Debido a la falta de profesores de español, las escuelas suecas han estado obligadas a emplear profesores no titulados para cubrir la demanda. Esto ha llevado a que los alumnos obtengan bajos resultados académicos, la falta de motivación de estos y a que muchos abandonen sus estudios. Según el resultado de un estudio europeo, los alumnos suecos tienen un mejor dominio del inglés, a la vez que muestran los peores índices de dominio del español en toda la Unión Europea (ESLC, Commission of the European Communities, 2012).

    Este estudio se enfoca en ver cómo funcionan las clases de español desde la perspectiva de los alumnos que están estudiando su último semestre y exalumnos que han terminado sus estudios.

    Los datos extraídos de las entrevistas y encuestas muestran que los alumnos suecos dedican bastante tiempo a hacer ejecicios repetitivos de gramática y a memorizar el vocabulario durante las clases de español, además de que raramente hablan la lengua meta en las clases y en la vida cotidiana, lo cual afecta negativamente la motivación y el dominio del idioma.

    Being Finlandssvensk: Languages, Ideologies and Identities among the Swedish-Speaking Population of Finland2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Swedish-speaking Finns, or in Swedish Finlandssvenskar, are a protected linguistic minority group in Finland. They are Finnish citizens, born and raised in Finland, whose mother tongue is Swedish. The aim of this research is to explore how four Swedish-speaking Finns belonging to the Finlandssvensk minority perceived the role of their multilingual repertoires in constructing desired identities in different social contexts or fields. It further aims to discover how language ideologies shaped the way they construct their linguistic practices in different contexts, as well as how participants viewed the value of their repertoires as capital in these fields. Finally, it seeks to understand how these perceived values of different languages as capital influence their investment in learning the majority language, Finnish. Four adult participants from different towns and cities were selected by means of a questionnaire. The research design consisted of interviews with participants supported by body maps and examples of online linguistic practices. Findings suggest that participants’ possibilities for constructing desired identities are influenced by positive reactions to their multilingualism, positive experiences of belonging to a minority group and negative limitations of the majority language use. Moreover, the findings showed connections between investment and ideologies of language, in connection to linguistic practices valued as social, cultural, and economic capitals. The research findings contribute to understandings of how members of Finlandssvenskar minority group construct and perceive their linguistic identity on a daily basis but also to knowledge of the factors that influence the practices of minority language speakers more broadly.

    El trabajo delante suyo: Un estudio diacrónico y diatópico de la variación en el uso de las locuciones adverbiales locativas2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo investigar el uso de la construcción morfosintáctica adverbio locativo + pronombre posesivo (“delante suyo”), que alterna con la normativamente recomendada adverbio locativo + [preposición de + pronombre personal] (“delante de él”). El estudio proporciona un panorama de su distribución histórica y geográfica, un tema que anteriormente no ha sido abordado con profundidad en trabajos lingüísticos. El material analizado consiste en los tres corpus principales de la lengua española (CORDE, CREA y CORPES XXI), que en su conjunto aportan alrededor de 424 000 000 de formas, a partir de los cuales se ha construido una base de datos consistente con las ocurrencias de las construcciones en cuestión. Se ha partido de la hipótesis de que, en el caso del uso del posesivo, se trata de un fenómeno muy extendido por todo el ámbito hispánico y que, más recientemente, ha ido difundiéndose, compitiendo así con la construcción preposicional. Con base en el banco de datos elaborado, y considerando estudios anteriores que aluden al fenómeno, se ha logrado comprobar que la forma posesiva se registra en casi todo el mundo hispánico, pero que presenta una tradición de uso más larga en España – país donde se ha originado – y Argentina, siendo el último país el que presenta la frecuencia de uso más alta.

    Un acercamiento variacionista al estudio de las locuciones adverbiales locativas: El caso de las construcciones del tipo "delante mío"2017Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El presente trabajo abarca el estudio de la variación en las construcciones adverbiales locativas. Esta variación se manifiesta en dos niveles: (1) la alternancia entre la construcción estándar ADVERBIO + preposición de + PRONOMBRE PERSONAL (por ejemplo, delante de mí), y su variante normativamente no recomendada ADVERBIO + PRONOMBRE POSESIVO (por ejemplo, delante mío); y (2) la alternancia entre la construcción posesiva con el sufijo -o (por ejemplo, delante mío), y la construcción posesiva con el sufijo -a (por ejemplo, delante mía), variante normativamente aún más disuadida. El objetivo fue estudiar estas dos variables lingüísticas y sus posibles predictores sociolingüísticos. Con esta finalidad, se han analizado datos provenientes de Twitter. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo en febrero del 2017. Se recogieron 2357 observaciones de construcciones adverbiales locativas de 21 países de habla hispana (incluyendo los Estados Unidos), de las cuales 1006 eran de la variante posesiva. En cuanto a la variación entre construcciones preposicionales y posesivas, se clasificaron los datos según cuatro variables independientes: el género (o sexo) del tuitero, la procedencia geográfica del tuit, el tipo de adverbio precedente y el número gramatical del referente. Con relación al uso del sufijo -a del posesivo, las observaciones fueron clasificadas según dos variables adicionales: la vocal final del adverbio y el género del referente gramatical. Se ha construido un modelo estadístico de regresión logística que mide el efecto de las variables independientes investigadas sobre el uso de (1) la construcción con el posesivo y (2) la construcción con el posesivo del sufijo -a respectivamente. Referente a (1), la alternancia en los complementos, el análisis revela que la zona dialectal del tuitero, el tipo del adverbio precedente y el número gramatical son los factores estadísticamente significativos para predecir el uso de la construcción posesiva. En lo que concierne a (2), la alternancia en los sufijos del posesivo, los datos apuntan a que tanto la zona dialectal del tuitero como el género del referente gramatical condicionan el uso del posesivo con la desinencia -a

    Los pronombres átonos.: Complejidad y usos divergentes.2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    Debido a que estudios sobre la adquisición del Español como Lengua Extranjera (E/LE) en Suecia señalan que el aprendizaje de los pronombres de complemento directo (CD) y complemento indirecto (CI) resulta difícil al estudiante causándole problemas en la comprensión y producción; y debido a que esos pronombres átonos son introducidos en etapas iniciales del aprendizaje a pesar de la complejidad de los pronombres átonos del sistema casual general del español en el programa de E/LE en Suecia.

    Para eso, se hace explícita la descripción del uso de los pronombres átonos con el objetivo de ilustrar la complejidad en la adquisición (aprendizaje y uso) de ellos. En el espectro de la complejidad además de la función y característica se describen factores extrínsecos a nivel diatópico y a nivel diastrático. Se examina en el corpus cómo los apartados de explicación gramática referente a los pronombres átonos están diseñados y presentados. El método del trabajo es entonces descriptivo y lingüístico basado en teorías cognitivas sobre la adquisición de segundas lenguas, Mitchell & Myles (1998) así como en el rol del input en el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de la gramática en el E/LE, Cadierno (1995).

    A pesar de la introducción temprana de dichos elementos debido al uso frecuente de ellos en el español se encuentra que los libros de textos y manuales analizados no reflejan la complejidad descrita en el marco teórico. La distribución y uso de los pronombres átonos en el corpus no es conforme al sistema etimológico o sistema casual general del español, es decir, se mezclan diferentes sistemas. Por otra parte esos sistemas o usos divergentes son escasamente presentados al estudiante.

    Comparative Critical Discourse Analysis of CNN and Fox News Headlines: A Case of Immigration Detention in the US2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Immigration policies and border control in the US were hardened significantly more ever since the new government’s immigration executive order in 2017. A series of massive raids and immigrant detentions were carried out which got the attention of both human rights activists and the news media. How these immigration detention events are portrayed in the news media reflect, moreover, a series of discourses which seem to attract audiences from either left-wing or right-wing political ideologies, specifically to read CNN and Fox news respectively, according to previous survey-based research. This paper aims to identify through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) how those in detention are represented in the news headlines of Fox News and CNN, and secondly, identify what possible left-wing and right-wing political ideologies about immigration are expressed in the news outlets. Reference strategies and transitivity will encompass the micro-level analysis, which focuses on language construction. For the macro-level analysis, on the one hand, discourse practices like process of production and consumption will be considered, and on the other hand, American foreign policy viewed from the left-wing and right-wing perspectives will be discussed to consider differences in style, tone, and perspective in CNN and Fox News’ headlines in relation to immigration detention events. Results show that CNN, tied to left-wing audiences, portray the immigration detention events from the perspective of immigrants who are in a vulnerable position since they are detained with their families. Moreover, Fox News, tied to right-wing audiences, show the events more from the viewpoint of the government and the public entities in charge of the immigration policies, who are in need to restrain, detain, and deport immigrants for the sake of the country’s security. This paper aims to contribute further to the research on political ideologies as a relevant factor to understand differences in discourse in the news media for future research.

    De som (som) vi använder: En korpusstudie av optionellt ’som’ i svenska objektsrelativsatser2009Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av den optionella subjunktionen som i svenska objektsrelativsatser. Sökningar gjordes i en svenskspråkig korpus för att hitta objektsrelativsatser med och utan som. Resultaten undersöktes mot bakgrund av två hypoteser gällande processningseffektivitet och tillgänglighet hos referenter. I båda fallen styrktes dessa hypoteser. Som tycks vara mer frekvent i relativsatser där många ord skiljer matrissatsens korrelat från relativsatsens finita verb vilket stödjer principen Maximize On-line Processing som formulerats av Hawkins och som grundar sig i teorier kring processningseffektivitet. Som tycktes också vara mer frekvent i relativsatser där det inbäddade subjektet var i hög grad tillgängligt, i fråga om pronominell och animat status hos referenten.

    Det här makes no sense!: An explorative study about a group of native Swedish speaker’s attitudes towards code switching2016Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Within the field of Sociolinguistics, this study investigates a group of native Swedish speaker’s attitudes towards code switching. The data were gathered by using an online questionnaire inspired by Dewaele & Wei’s (2014) survey investigating attitudes towards code switching. The data sample consists of responses from 34 participants in total from two generations and 204 answers were given. In addition to the questionnaire, interviews with four participants were conducted. The findings from the questionnaire reveal that code switching is generally accepted by the participants, but also that the younger generation has a more positive attitude towards code switching. However, the interviews reveal some differences in contrast to the questionnaire. Further, the results imply that a change might be undergoing in attitude towards code switching in the older generation. The findings are important for further research.

    Thanks! You look rather dashing yourself.: A contrastive pragmatics investigation of Singaporean and American compliment responses2014Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Set within the framework of the newly established field of variational pragmatics (Schneider and Barron, 2008), this study investigates pragmatic variation between two different regional varieties of English, namely American English and Singaporean English. Specifically, the speech act of compliment responses is compared. The data were collected through written discourse completion tasks (DCT) and responses were analysed and coded using an adapted version of Holmes’ (1988) categorization system for compliment responses (CRs). The CRs come from a total of 40 participants and a total of 320 compliment responses were analysed. The DCT was supplemented by an introspective-recall with six participants. The findings demonstrate that the preferred strategy for both groups is in the order of accept, evade and reject. Even so, the Singaporeans use more reject strategies and less accept strategies than the Americans do. Further, the Americans employ more combination strategies than the Singaporeans. The Singaporeans however, employ more non-verbal and paralinguistic cues than the Americans. The results also show differences in the two varieties’ attitudes to and perceptions of compliment responses. In addition, the study suggests that compliments in Singapore might be undergoing a change. The findings are particularly important for pedagogical purposes.

    Tracce italiane nella Svezia medievale: Documenti in italiano nel Diplomatario Svedese2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    The purpose of this study is to introduce the ten documents, written in the Italian language, registered by Riksarkivet, Stockholm. The oldest document being written in 1346 and the last one in 1520, they all belong to the European medieval period. The study provides the texts (sometimes contracted, sometimes partly translated from Latin), the cultural backgrounds to the texts and possible reasons why they are written in Italian. An additional question concerning the existence of people in Medieval Sweden who were able to read and understand Italian texts is discussed. The importance of the extension of the Italian language in the Mediterranean area as well as in the Levant is referred to as an explanation of the use of Italian in the documents. Important motives of the fact that some of the documents are being found in the Swedish archive are the activities of the Swedish Expeditions to the Vatican library as well as the life of Bridget of Sweden, who played an outstanding role in the political, cultural and political life in Europe in the fourteenth century. A short background to the studies at the Studio of Siena of a number of Swedish students is given and also to the foundation of the University of Uppsala. The study is concluded by presenting an evaluation of the ten documents.

    “But it doesn't really have to do with the bilingualism”: Family language policies in transnational families of bilingual autistic children2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Family language policy (FLP) investigates family members’ language ideologies, practices, and management strategies. With the growing number of autistic children exposed to bi- or multilingual environments, there is a gap in the existing body of FLP research that has not focused before on speaking and non-speaking autistic children from transnational families. This study, therefore, aims to determine to what extent existing FLP frameworks can adequately capture the lived experiences of families with bilingual autistic children. This mixed method study uses an online parental questionnaire to investigate which language and modality policies and practices are prevalent in transnational families with bilingual autistic children. Thereafter in semi-structured interviews with eight parents, it explores other potential factors that affect parental decisions about bilingualism. The study further aims to explore other broader ideologies and discourses about autism and bilingualism in the parental accounts. The results suggest that most parents of bilingual autistic children shared positive views about bilingualism and linked language challenges to autism, not bilingualism. However, their language practices and management strategies were not always consistent with their views on bilingualism. The results of the interviews indicate that additional diagnoses, spoken language proficiency, the amount of required additional support, misrecognition of early diagnosis, professional recommendations, and access to socioeconomic resources were other factors influencing parental decisions about bilingualism. As a result, I argue that FLP as a theoretical framework fails to capture certain aspects of the families’ lived experiences and to address ableist injustices or offer any remedies against them. After examining Nancy Fraser’s theory of redistribution and recognition and Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ notion of “abyssal thinking”, this thesis highlights the importance of developing an innovative theoretical framework that can incorporate FLP, social class, other forms of difference, and the neurodiversity movement as a transformative remedy to address ableist injustices experienced by bilingual autistic children and their families. This thesis also proposes to use the terms “semiotic practices” and “semiotic management” as part of the FLP framework to incorporate other modalities than spoken language. It also introduces the term “ableist thinking” for descriptions of abyssal thinking related to autism. The proposed model can be used by practitioners working with autistic children and their families and potentially improve their lived experiences and access to bilingual resources.

    El uso de los sustantivos abstractos/concretos y de los verbos de movimiento en hablantes no nativos de español muy avanzado2010Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    La presente investigación estudia el uso de los sustantivos abstractos/concretos y de los verbos de movimiento en hablantes no nativos de español muy avanzado.

    En este estudio, nosotros creemos que el input comprensible, la interacción y la frecuencia con que se utiliza la lengua meta son factores importantísimos para poder adquirir, desarrollar y afianzar el uso de las categorías que nos interesa estudiar.

    A partir de estas premisas, es posible pensar que un hablante no nativo (HNN) muy avanzado de una L2 debería tener un nivel idiomático muy parecido al de un hablante nativo (HN) dentro de los campos donde se da la interacción, pero ¿Qué sucede cuando un HNN es sometido a pruebas que disminuyen el efecto de estos factores? ¿Deberían, entonces, existir diferencias significativas en los recursos léxicos utilizados por ambos grupos (HNNs en relación a HNs)? Así, y a grandes rasgos, el objetivo principal de nuestra investigación es poder determinar cuándo los HNNs no alcanzan el nivel de ocurrencias presentado por los HNs.

    Elige tu propia aventura, ¿nudo gordiano para el tratamiento holístico de la expresión escrita?: Una experiencia de escritura narrativa creativa en Español como Lengua Extranjera, a través de trabajo cooperativo con wikis2012Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El objetivo de la presente investigación es el de aproximarse al potencial que el género de hiperficción explorativa Elige tu propia aventura (ETPA), abordado desde la producción, puede tener de cara al desarrollo de la competencia escritora en ELE. Como muestra, se ha tomado a un grupo multicultural y plurilingüe de 18 estudiantes de la Universidad de Estocolmo, con una competencia comunicativa mínima en español de B2 marco. Se ha llevado a cabo un análisis cualitativo-cuantitativo que, de forma correlativa, abarcaba el estudio del proceso de composición, del producto alcanzado y del impacto de la tarea sobre el componente afectivo de los participantes. La investigación asignó al grupo de control, la composición cooperativa de un cuento tradicional a través de una wiki, y al experimental, la de un ETPA; todo ello en base a una hipotética oposición entre un ejercicio compositivo lineal y uno de tipo recursivo, respectivamente. Los resultados parecen sugerir que, efectivamente, la estructura no secuencial de la ficción hipertextual propicia un proceso de composición marcado por la recursividad que repercute en la consecución de un mejor producto, en especial, con relación a las propiedades textuales de adecuación, coherencia y cohesión. En lo afectivo, la composición de un ETPA también parece constituir una actividad que, por su novedad, incide positivamente en la motivación de los aprendientes y en un sentimiento de autoeficiencia generado por la resolución exitosa de la tarea.

    Language and gender debates: Exploring mass-media and academic discourse on language and gender differences2016Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This sociolinguistic study investigates the similarities and differences between male and female speech, expressed in two different corpora. The first corpus consists of eight academic articles, and the second consists of eight mass media articles. The main investigation is based on the analysis comparing these two corpora, and the perception of gendered language differences expressed in them. The aim of this study was to view what language and gender perspectives were presented in public newspapers, in relation to proven academic research. This essay presents results that show there is no substantial difference in the language use between men and women. The research articles are presented by publication year, starting with the work by Lakoff from mid-70s to Levon in 2014. Men and women use language differently, however there is evidence indicating that the greater differences are seen within each gender rather than between them, thus specific language is not restricted to one gender but overlaps in use by both genders. Also, the discourse from these academic articles is placed in relation to the mass media articles. The latter articles present language and gender differences as divided into a female language and a male language, as a black and white difference. The mass media articles are in contrast to the academic articles, fairly recent publications in newspapers. The main difference found between the academic and mass media discourse, is that mass media articles presents the issue as almost completely dependent on gender, while the sociolinguistic research proves that language depends on factors such as, sexuality, nationality and identity. Moreover, these two corpora disagree regarding the existence of a female- and a male language.

    ¡Qué trasto!: La enseñanza de léxico coloquial en ELE. Un estudio sociolingüístico de corpus sobre los coloquialismos trasto, caña y rollo.2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    Esta tesina tiene como principal objetivo investigar el registro coloquial en la enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Más concretamente se trata de un estudio sociolingüístico que tiene como propósito analizar las variedades diatópicas. El estudio se delimita en los siguientes coloquialismos polisémicos comunes en la variedad peninsular de la región catalana: “trasto”, “caña” y “rollo”. El estudio tiene como fin investigar la frecuencia de uso y cómo se distinguen los usos en el mundo hispanohablante. Además, se pretende demostrar la importancia de la inclusión del registro y léxico coloquial en la enseñanza de ELE. El estudio sociolingüístico se basa en un método deductivo-inductivo basado en la búsqueda de corpus mediante los siguientes corpus del español: Corpus del Español del Siglo XXI (CORPES XXI) y Valencia, Español Coloquial (Val.Es.Co.) y el Diccionario histórico de la lengua española (CDH). Siguiendo los pasos de la búsqueda, el docente de ELE puede informarse sobre el léxico coloquial, sus variedades y frecuencias dependiendo del origen. El análisis se centra en analizar los resultados de las estadísticas, frecuencias, concordancias, coapariciones y variantes. También se observan en qué coapariciones aparecen los distintos usos de los coloquialismos. Además, se investigan los múltiples significados de los coloquialismos polisémicos y en qué grado existe la variación diatópica de sus usos. La discusión conecta los resultados con el currículo sueco de lenguas extranjeras (Skolverket) y propuestas de estudios previos. Los resultados obtenidos muestran gran variedad y los distintos usos de los coloquialismos en los países hispanohablantes.

    Competencia sociopragmática en aprendientes de ELE: Un estudio cualitativo sobre factores incidentes en el aula de bachillerato2015Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    Durante las últimas décadas se han llevado a cabo una serie de discusiones con respecto al rol que deben ocupar los estudios pragmáticos en la enseñanza de lenguas y sus implicaciones en la labor pedagógica (Bardovi-Harlig, 1996). En este sentido, el presente estudio cualitativo tiene por objetivo identificar factores que inciden en la competencia sociopragmática (CSP) en la enseñanza ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera) dentro de un contexto escolar sueco, con estudiantes de bachillerato de nivel B1-B2 según el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las lenguas (MCER). La medida de la CSP de los estudiantes se obtiene a través de las muestras de lenguaje proporcionados por actividades de elicitación mediante cuestionarios, mientras que los datos relacionados a los factores de incidencia en el aula se obtienen a través de entrevistas de profundización. Comparamos los niveles de CSP de los estudiantes con los factores de aula y los resultados obtenidos indican que el rol del profesor y su elección didáctica tienen mayor incidencia en la CSP de sus alumnos. Con respecto a las percepciones de los estudiantes, se observa que aquellos estudiantes con mayor nivel de CSP tienen una percepción positiva hacia estos contenidos, mientras que aquellos con niveles más bajos demuestran una visión negativa. Se concluye que existen, en efecto, factores positivos de incidencia en la CSP dentro de un contexto formal de enseñanza, principalmente centrados en el rol del profesor.

    La interferencia interlingüística en la producción oral de jóvenes suecos de ELH: "Después el perrito se comió un corvito"2016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El presente estudio investiga la influencia interlingüística a nivel léxico en la producción oral de jóvenes suecos de ELH, hablantes de la variedad chilena. Dos preguntas de investigación guían este trabajo. La primera pregunta examina el origen de las lenguas fuentes de influencias de ILL (Sueco L2 vs Inglés L3). La segunda pregunta se enfoca en los factores que determinan la incidencia de la ILL. Los datos fueron elicitados a través de una tarea narrativa y una entrevista. Asimismo, se utilizó un cuestionario para recabar información sociolingüística de los participantes. Los resultados indican que el sueco L2 fue la lengua fuente de mayor influencia en la ILL, frente al inglés L3 que no tuvo un rol muy importante. Se encontró, además, que la ocurrencia de la ILL vino determinada por varios factores lingüísticos.

    Answers to Polarity Questions: A Typological Study2018Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Polarity questions, i.e. questions that demand as an answer either an affirmation or a denial (e.g. yes or no), are considered to be an universal language feature. Different strategies to answer polarity questions have been observed across languages. Sadock & Zwicky (1985) identified three systems of answer strategies: yes/no systems, agree/disagree systems and echosystems. Other studies have attested languages exhibiting a mix of these types (i.a. Floydet al. 2016, Holmberg 2016). Sadock & Zwicky (1985) do not offer any statements about the frequency distribution of the language systems, nor do they explain what kind of sample was used for their analysis. The aim of this study is to fill this gap. Specifically, the goals are to investigate the validity of the typology offered in Sadock & Zwicky (1985) and to establish some estimates about the cross-linguistic frequency of the types identified during this investigation. The data are collected through consultation of reference grammars and elicitation by means of a questionnaire.

    Polarity-reversing Affrimative Particles: A Feature of Standard Average European (SAE)2019Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Polarity-reversing affirmative particles are a phenomenon that has largely been overlooked

    in previous research. A polarity-reversing affirmative particle is used to express disagreement

    with the polarity of a preceding negative statement. It is a typical answer strategy in

    Swedish, German, Dutch as well as in French. In fact, findings from previous cross-linguistic

    studies suggest, though without further detail, that polarity-reversing affirmative particles are

    a phenomenon predominantly found in European and more specifically in Germanic languages

    (Da Milano 2004; Roelofsen & Farkas 2015; Moser 2018). The aim of this study is to examine the

    hypotheses presented in Moser (2018). The goals are to investigate the distribution of polarity-reversing affirmative particles in Europe on the one hand, and to examine the phenomenon

    in Swedish, German, Dutch and French from a diachronic perspective on the other hand. On

    the basis of these endeavors, this study is embedded in the framework of areal typology. This

    study brings forth highly interesting findings in view of the discussion of Standard Average

    European and the Charlemagne Sprachbund.

    En kontrastiv studie om temporala bisatser på svenska och bulgariska2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Temporala bisatser är ett av flera sätt att ange tid, de andra sätten är bland annat tempus och temporala adverb. Genom att undersöka temporala bisatser i svenska och bulgariska är det möjligt att illustrera likheter och skillnader i användning och funktion av temporala bisatser. I och med att svenska och bulgariska är inte nära besläktade språk finns det flera kontraster mellan språken som är intressanta att utforska, t.ex. kontrasten mellan bulgarisk aspekt och avsaknad av aspekt på svenska. Studiens syfte är att undersöka användning och funktion av temporala bisatser på svenska och bulgariska som utförs genom att ta reda på temporala relationer, tempus och aspekt, expletiv negation, polysemi och frekvens hos temporala subjunktioner i temporala bisatser. Studiens syfte undersöks med hjälp av parallella texter och ordböcker på svenska och bulgariska. Resultatet visar både likheter och skillnader i användning och funktion av temporala bisatser i de två språken. Bland annat undersöks om motsvarande satser har samma eller olika temporala relationer i temporala satser på svenska och bulgariska. I det undersökta materialet är temporala bisatser något mer frekventa på svenska än på bulgariska.

    “Que por qué razón no les enseño el español correcto, el de España”: Un estudio sobre la representación de las variedades del español en un material audiovisual y la perspectiva del profesorado sobre su inclusión en la enseñanza.2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El objetivo del presente estudio es, por una parte, investigar la representación de ocho variedades lingüísticas de la lengua española en un material audiovisual de la empresa estatal sueca UR y, por otra parte, estudiar las opiniones de los profesores de español como lengua extranjera sobre la inclusión de las variedades en la enseñanza- aprendizaje. En el estudio usamos un método cualitativo, a través de realizar entrevistas semiestructuradas a un total de cinco participantes. Para investigar la representación de las ocho variedades en el material seleccionado fueron analizados 22 cortometrajes en los planos de gramática, fonética- fonología y léxico. Los resultados revelan que las variedades de España gozan de una mayor representatividad en el material audiovisual. También se indica en los resultados que los participantes tienen una posición favorable a la inclusión de las variedades en la enseñanza, aunque las respuestas revelen que en la práctica existan limitaciones. Algunos profesores recomiendan no mezclarlas ya que los alumnos pueden confundirse en su uso. En conclusión, el material audiovisual analizado cumple con los requisitos que el currículo de la asignatura exige en Suecia; los participantes opinan que la inclusión de las variedades es importante, y para ello, en caso necesario, emplean medios adicionales en el proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje

    Upper secondary English teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices of assessing writing in Sweden: A survey study2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Assessment of writing skills is a part of teachers’ everyday life. According to previous studies on a similar subject, teachers’ education in assessing writing is limited. The lack of education for teachers may lead to negative consequences for the whole educational system. For this reason, the purpose of this study focused on the analysis of English upper-secondary school teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices in assessing writing in Sweden. 

    The method for this study was adapted from Crusan et al. (2016) research. An Internet survey was used in order to receive information about teachers’ cognition. Firstly, the survey was published in different Facebook groups, and secondly, it was sent to upper-secondary teachers of English in different counties in Sweden via email. In total, 52 English teachers from upper-secondary schools participated in this study. 

    The results showed that teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices are co-dependent. Teachers need to be aware of their cognition regarding knowledge, beliefs, and practices. In-service teachers need to receive more training as a form of professional development, while institutions for pre-service teachers need to re-evaluate their educational plans. More research about teachers’ cognition and assessment of writing is needed in Sweden.

    The cross-linguistic influence on L2 learners' ability to use morphosyntactic cues predictively.: A psycholinguistic study on German grammatical gender acquisition by Greek native speakers.2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    German and Greek are both Indo-European languages that realize grammatical gender and indeed they have similar grammatical gender systems, they both realize three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter). They pose some similarities concerning gender agreement as well. However, the lexical gender between these two languages differs a lot. The purpose of this study is to examine first, whether L2 learners of German with Greek as their first language are able to use German grammatical gender predictively. Secondly, it was also examined to what extent the differences associated with L1-L2 lexical gender are going to affect their ability to make gender-based predictions in their L2. An experimental condition providing lexical cues (i.e., numeral) as informative cues was added, so that a comparison between the L2ers’ predictive ability based on morphosyntactic cues compared to lexical cues, can be investigated. The research questions of the study were examined by means of a speeded picture-selection task. Gender Assignment Tasks and a proficiency test were also included to investigate the influence of proficiency and knowledge of grammatical gender on the L2ers’ ability to use gender predictively. Besides the L2ers’ group, a control group of German native speakers also participated. The results suggest that L2ers were not able to use grammatical gender in their L2 predictively across the board of the gender trials, although they did successfully use the lexical cues to predict upcoming words. Although proficiency did not significantly interact with L2ers’ performance at the task, their knowledge of grammatical gender did significantly affect their performance, leading to faster Reaction Times.

    Identifiering av svenska fragment: har kontexten någon betydelse?2017Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Tidigare forskning om identifiering av fragment och ordigenkänning visar att resultaten ökar om deltagare har sett orden de ska identifiera tidigare eller om ordfragmenten presenteras i sin rätta kontext. I den här studien undersöktes påverkan av kontexten vid identifiering av svenska fragment genom att använda primingparadigm. Svenska talare blev indelade i två grupper, Priming och Kontroll och testades med online-enkäter. I Priming fick deltagarna läsa en text och sedan fylla i fragment från texten medans deltagarna i Kontroll endast fyllde i fragmenten. Resultaten visade motsatsen till tidigare forskning. Deltagarna i kontrollgruppen presterade bättre och lyckades identifiera fler korrekta fragment än de deltagare som fick läsa orden i en komplett text innan de blev ombedda att fullfölja fragmenten. En möjlig orsak till detta kan vara att texten var för lång vilket ledde till en frustration hos deltagarna som hämmade dem från att få ett bra resultat. Resultaten visade även att män, överlag lyckades identifiera fler korrekta fragment än vad kvinnor kunde. Detta kan bero på faktorer som koncentration eller förmåga att komma ihåg detaljer. Vid identifiering av verb och substantiv visade det sig vara enklare att identifiera verb när de presenterades i isolation och substantiv när de presenterades i sin rätta kontext. Detta stämmer överrens med tidigare forskning som visade att verb och substantiv är representerade på olika platser i hjärnan och påverkas därför annorlunda vid processning. Vidare forskning med fler deltagare uppmuntras för att kunna undersöka ytterligare aspekter som kan ha påverkat resultatet.

    Vowel Harmony in Bale: A study of ATR harmony in a Surmic language of Ethiopia2009Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    ATR, advanced tongue root, is a phonological feature among vowels. As vowels assimilate to share the same value of that feature, they display ATR harmony. This is a common phenomenon among many African languages. ATR harmony is examined in this paper as manifested across morpheme boundaries wihin nouns in a Surmic language of Ethiopia called Bale. The data presented was collected at a workshop on ATR harmony held by SIL International in Mizan Teferi, Ethiopia, 2009. The vowel system in Bale displays a nine vowel inventory with a feature dominance of [+ATR] vowels which spread their feature both leftward and rightward to recessive [–ATR] vowels. The [+ATR] dominance is also present as a floating feature without any phonological material. The vowel /a/ is analysed as a neutral vowel, co-occuring with both [+ATR] and [–ATR] vowels within roots.

    Abstract [sv]

    Kinesiska och miao-språket hmu har nära kontakt med varandra och påverkan från kinesiskan har iakttagits i hmu på lexikal och fonologisk nivå. Denna studie undersöker hur påverkan från kinesiskan ser ut även på syntaktisk nivå i fråga om användningen av genitiv och nominalisering. På kinesiska uttrycks detta med en och samma partikel, vilken har en motsvarighet i hmu. Studien delades upp i två delar: en korpusundersökning och en meningsanalys över två olika upplagor av Nya testamentet på hmu. I den tidigare upplagan användes den partikel flitigt som på hmu sägs uttrycka genitiv och nominalisering och korpusundersökningen visade en minskad användning av denna partikel i den senare upplagan av Nya testamentet. Meningsanalysen visade att kinesisk påverkan finns på användningen av genitiv men inte på nominalisering i hmu. Med detta har vi fått en klarare bild av hur kinesisk påverkan ser ut på just dessa syntaktiska funktioner i hmu.

    Phonological features of Yazghulami: A field study2016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    Yazghulami is a South-East Iranian language spoken in the Pamir area of Tajikistan by about 9000 people. This study gives an account of the phonology of the language by describing contrastive segments and their distribution and realizations, as well as describing suprasegmental features such as syllable structure and stress patterns. Field research was carried out in a community of Yazghulami speakers in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, by recording, transcribing and annotating spoken language. Yazghulami is analyzed as having 8 vowel phonemes of which one pair contrasts in length, and 36 consonant phonemes with a considerable display of palatal, velar and uvular phonemes, of which a set of three labialized plosives and three labialized fricatives is found. The syllable structure of Yazghulami allows for clusters of no more than two consonants in the onset and two in the coda; clusters in both positions do not occur in one and the same syllable. The stress generally falls on the last syllable of a word, although when nouns are inflected with suffixes, the stress instead falls on the last syllable of the stem. With these results, a foundation for further efforts to develop and increase the status of this endangered language is laid.

    El uso de atenuaciones en español entre alumnos suecos del bachillerato: Rechazos, consejos y peticiones2012Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    El objetivo principal de este estudio es examinar el uso de las atenuaciones como marcador de cortesía en español entre estudiantes suecos del bachillerato en los actos de habla de rechazos, consejos y peticiones. Compartimos la premisa de que en el uso del español como lengua extranjera hay una falta de competencia comunicativa en general, y también competencia en cuanto a las atenuaciones. Nuestra hipótesis es que en el uso de español como lengua extranjera por parte de estudiantes suecos del bachillerato, hay una competencia comunicativa suficiente como para transmitir contenidos temáticos pero no para expresarse de forma socioculturalmente adecuada en cuanto a los contenidos de cortesía, especialmente hay una falta del conocimiento y del uso de las atenuaciones. Se ha elaborado una encuesta con nueve situaciones, tres para cada tipo de acto de habla, donde 32 estudiantes suecos de bachillerato han tenido que rechazar invitaciones, dar opiniones y consejos y pedir favores. Para poder comparar los resultados tenemos un grupo de control de 10 jóvenes hispanohablantes, sin conocimientos de sueco. Según el Ministerio de Educación sueco, para poder obtener un aprobado en el nivel tres del bachillerato y poder acceder a los estudios universitarios, los estudiantes deben tener suficiente conocimiento de la lengua meta y su sociopragmática para poder adaptarse a diferentes situaciones y usar ciertas estrategias. Los resultados nos muestran que, en la mayoría de los casos, los estudiantes suecos atenúan con marcadores de cortesía, concretamente realizando un sobreuso de agradecimientos: han desarrollado así un sistema propio, o sea, una interlengua del español con elementos suecos, lo cual muestra que estos estudiantes aplican estrategias comunicativas que resultan eficaces. En general, realizan actos amenazantes para las imágenes del emisor y del destinario, bastante más que el grupo de control. Sin atenuaciones, estos actos de habla pueden ser interpretados como descortesía por el interlocutor hispanohablante y podrían surgir problemas en la comunicación.

    English as an academic lingua franca at Stockholm University School of Business: A sociolinguistic study of academic English in parallel-language settings2012Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This study is based on interviews with 20 students with Swedish as mother tongue, and observations from 10 lectures and seminars on advanced level at Stockholm University School of Business. The courses observed use English as a medium of instruction and the study explores how English is used as a lingua franca, how the students adapt to English in academic settings and the sociolinguistic functions of choosing English or Swedish in specific situations.

    The results show that English is used in parallel with Swedish, a great number of Swedish terms and expressions are used, both by students and teachers. Students speak Swedish with each other as well as with Swedish teachers in unofficial settings. English is used whenever a foreign teacher or student is around.

    Many students in the study claim to handle the English medium courses well but in reality they do have some difficulties. The students should be given instruction in English for academic purposes and reconsider their attitudes about what is correct and incorrect English.

    Plain Language in the EU: Impact of Plain Language in Drafting and Translation of Different Types of EU Legislation2014Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This essay assesses the impact of plain language campaigns in EU legislation. Different types of legislation as well as legislation with different intended recipients are analysed. The analysis includes calculating a LIX index score and complementing the index data with data from the texts. The data derives from textual parameters associated with plain language. The distinction between the recipient and the actual reader of legislation in the EU will also be discussed as the general public is asserted by the EU to be the reader of legislative acts. It is, however, shown in this essay that the general public is not the reader of legislative acts directed to them.

    The hypothesis in this essay is that there has been an impact of plain language in legislative acts in the EU over time, as a result of plain language campaigns in the EU. We may also see a difference in the impact of plain language between specific types of legislation and between legislation directed to different intended recipients. A specialist audience may be considered to have a higher competence of the register of law compared to the general public. However, as the results from the analysis are inconclusive we cannot see any coherent impact of plain language in the texts analysed in this essay. The analysis also suggests that using textual features associated with plain language is not an effective tool to use to assess improvement in terms of readability and impact of plain language over time. The different textual parameters do not cohere.

    In addition to the above, the impact of plain language in relation to translation in the EU is discussed. Plain language could perhaps enable more accurate and efficient translation to multiple languages, which is important in the EU’s multilingual environment. Consequently, by making an original language version of legislation less complex, the quality of translations may be improved. The qualitative analysis regarding plain language in translation suggests that a short, non-complex sentence in combination with the use of high frequency words enables a more natural translation in the Swedish language versions. The analysis also suggests some changes seen over time in relation to plain language in the translation process.

    North-South entanglements in Somali-Swedish family language policy: Practices, ideologies and everyday challenges2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis explores the family language policies (FLP) of two Somali-Swedish families living in Rinkeby, Stockholm. It focuses on the relationships between FLP and identity construction in different social spaces. It aims to address three main gaps in the FLP research in Sweden: in representation, methodology, and epistemological understandings of family, language, and policy. Most studies focus on families originating in the global North, which renders invisible the practices of families representing minoritized indigenous or immigrants – the South in the North. Moreover, few studies investigate FLP in interaction, resulting in a knowledge gap of FLP as practiced. In general, issues of power in relation to languages, social inequalities and status in society are barely present, yet, understanding relationships between linguistic practices and social structures at different scales seems crucial for understanding how language ideologies emerge and inform FLP. This study thus contributes to the field of FLP by investigating the language practices of two Somali-Swedish families, the language ideologies shaping these practices, as well as the everyday challenges they face in raising children multilingually. It uses an ethnographic design, drawing on interviews and fieldnotes, with attention to researcher positionality. Throughout, the thesis takes a decolonial stance, discussing how North-South entanglements are present in the interactions of marginalized populations and illuminating their experiences of struggle and oppression. Findings suggest that, for these families, FLP is an intentional act of maintaining the Somali language, although practices do not always align with this policy. Participants use in fact a broad linguistic repertoire in their interactions, constructing multiple identities in different spaces through their discursive practices, which are connected to their FLP. These practices are informed by ideologies on the importance of Somali in identity-building and in connecting people within the Somali diaspora, and by the supposed benefits of multilingualism. Participants report challenges in maintaining their FLP, such as the main role attributed to mothers in language maintenance, facing negative reactions to FLP from peers and society, and lack of institutional support. Results from this thesis contribute to redressing the identified gaps by researching participants’ own views on what is important for them and what challenges they face, an essential element for a decolonial approach. They also offer a critical perspective on multilingualism in FLP, locating language within southern perspectives. Results could also aid state actors working with Somali-Swedish families, enabling them to offer more focused support regarding raising multilingual children.

    North-South entanglements in Somali-Swedish family language policy: Practices, ideologies and everyday challenges2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis explores the family language policies (FLP) of two Somali-Swedish families living in Rinkeby, Stockholm. It focuses on the relationships between FLP and identity construction in different social spaces. It aims to address three main gaps in the FLPresearch in Sweden: in representation, methodology, and epistemological understandings of family, language, and policy. Most studies focus on families originating in the global North, which renders invisible the practices of families representing minoritized indigenous or immigrants – the South in the North. Moreover, few studies investigate FLP in interaction, resulting in a knowledge gap of FLP as practiced. In general, issues of power in relation to languages, social inequalities and status in society are barely present, yet, understanding relationships between linguistic practices and social structures at different scales seems crucial for understanding how language ideologies emerge and inform FLP. This study thus contributes to the field of FLP by investigating the language practices of two Somali-Swedish families, the language ideologies shaping these practices, as well as the everyday challenges they face in raising children multilingually. It uses an ethnographic design, drawing on interviews and fieldnotes, with attention to researcher positionality. Throughout, the thesis takes a decolonial stance, discussing how North-South entanglements are present in the interactions of marginalized populations and illuminating their experiences of struggle and oppression. Findings suggest that, for these families, FLP is an intentional act of maintaining the Somali language, although practices do not always align with this policy. Participants use in fact a broad linguistic repertoire in their interactions, constructing multiple identities in different spaces through their discursive practices, which are connected to their FLP. These practices are informed by ideologies on the importance of Somali in identity-building and in connecting people within the Somali diaspora, and by the supposed benefits of multilingualism.

Results from this thesis contribute to redressing the identified gaps by researching participants’ own views on what is important for them and whatchallenges they face, an essential element for a decolonial approach. They also offer a critical perspective on multilingualism in FLP, locating language within southern perspectives.

    Allt är inte guld som glimmar: En stilistisk analys och jämförelse av Dagens Nyhetersframställning av allvarligt våld i Sverige2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen ämnar analysera och jämföra framställningen av olika typer av allvarligt våld i tvåreportage från Dagens Nyheter. Våldstyperna i fråga är våld i nära relation och gängrelaterat våld.Målet är att finna eventuella likheter och skillnader i gestaltningen av brotten och de inblandadeparterna, samt potentiella underliggande värderingar som inte explicit formuleras. Uppsatsen användersig av en stilanalys med relevanta analysverktyg. Resultatet visar att det finns flera likheter igestaltningen av offren i förhållande till förövarna. Offren framställs som unga, oskyldiga tjejer,medan förövarna är onda, våldsamma äldre män. Dock skiljer sig reportagen vad gäller vem som är ifokus och i vilken mån de beskrivs. Reportaget om våld i nära relation har betydligt större offerfokusmedan reportaget om gängrelaterat våld har större fokus på förövaren i fråga. Vidare innehållerreportaget om våld i nära relation betydligt fler intima, intensiva och dramatiska drag, medan detgängrelaterade våldet framställs som spännande och fascinerande. Resultatet blir ännu mer relevant dådet ställs gentemot uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk och den tidigare forskningen i fråga. Resultatetpåvisar en kontrasterande beskrivning av offer och gärningsman, vilket i intersektionell mening är avintresse på grund av maktbalansen som skapas där emellan. Resultatet samspelar även med mycket avden tidigare forskningen vad gäller beskrivningar, fokus och framställning, dock med vissa skillnaderoch kontrasterande fynd.

    English Abbreviation and Acronym Usage Amongst Swedish Adolescents A Netspeak Inquiry2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    In today’s media society the Internet and the language that faces us therein is constant. Social Media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter etc.), Weblogs (blogs), Online Network games and the increasing amount of Internet use feed us with the new language features , and with a generation that is “Born to be wired,” a new language evolves.

         The aim of this paper is to find out what kind of English abbreviations and acronyms, springing from Netspeak, do Swedish adolescents from 12-15 years of age use. Which of them do they use in written language and which in spoken? And do they know what the abbreviations they use denote?

         The inquiry is based on a questionnaire survey given to pupils in junior high school and then studied through diverse perspectives.

         The results indicate that the Swedish adolescents to whom this survey was given claim to use Netspeak. The most common words they use are LOL (Laughing out Loud), OMG (Oh my God) and BTW (By the way). However, not all of them use them in spoken language and not all of them know what the abbreviations and acronyms they use mean.

    According to the survey a lot of the pupils read blogs, use Skype and other social medias, which can be a trigger for their massive use of English abbreviations.

    Rollspråk i dubbning och undertextning: En analys av rollspråket i den japanska undertextningen och dubbningen av en svensk barnfilm2015Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    I Japan är s.k. rollspråk, dvs. stereotypt språk kopplat till en viss typ av karaktär, vanligt i material riktat till barn, såsom barnfilmer. Trots att rollspråk som forskningsområde är relativt nytt finns ett antal studier som behandlar rollspråk i litterära översättningar, undertextningar och dubbningar till japanska. Få eller inga har dock jämfört hur rollspråket påverkar karaktäriseringen dels i undertexterna, dels i dubbningen av en och samma film.

    Denna uppsats analyserar japansk undertextning och dubbning av den svenska barnfilmen Du är inte klok Madicken och finner att båda versionerna använder rollspråk på ett liknande sätt för att förenkla karaktäriseringen och framhäva de kvinnliga karaktärernas femininitet genom bl.a. feminina satsfinala partiklar, pronomen, verbformer och interjektioner.

    Target Langauge in the Primary Classroom: Teachers' beliefs and practices2013Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    In spite of a monolingual norm in foreign language teaching during the last decades studies throughout the world show that teachers’ target language use varies significantly. This study sets out to examine to what extent the target language (TL) is used with young language learners and how this use correlates to teachers’ beliefs about foreign language teaching and first language (L1) inclusion. Moreover the paper discusses functions for L1 use and strategies used by teachers to support comprehension in the TL. Lesson observations and qualitative interviews were performed with four Swedish primary school class teachers. Despite the prevailing idea of exclusive TL use three of the four teachers do not subscribe to this approach and find L1 inclusion necessary. An emerging theme is the impact of teachers’ beliefs and how these are shaped by personal experience and/or education. L1 is legitimized in order to support comprehension and prevent pupils’ frustration. To varying degrees the L1 is used, mostly to facilitate learning but also for classroom management. The data suggests that teachers are well aware of their language use although they lack awareness and professional language to describe and be articulate about strategies they employ.

    ¿Hablas mapudungun?: Estudio sociolingüístico de bilingüismo, usos y actitudes hacia el mapudungun en el sector rural y urbano en Chile2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [es]

    La lengua mapudungun del pueblo mapuche ha sufrido en la historia, por distintas razones desplazamiento y vitalidad lingüística del castellano dentro del territorio chileno como lengua principal. La lengua vernácula está en peligro de extinción y muchos de los mapuche no hablan la lengua. La identidad étnica y la cultura están fuertemente vinculadas con la lengua del pueblo mapuche, lo cual implica que en un olvido de la lengua podría afectar la identidad mapuche. Los estudios nos revelan que existe la diglosia dentro del bilingüismo en Chile y hace que el mapudungun por ser lengua minoritaria sufra aún más.

    En los últimos años se ha discutido mucho en los telediarios y medios sociales, acerca de este problema sociolingüístico y muestra el gran deseo de muchos mapuche de poder salvar su lengua. La presente investigación se basa en un análisis cuantitativo sobre el bilingüismo, usos, actitudes lingüísticas hacia la lengua mapudungun, en los sectores urbanos y rurales en Chile.

    El estudio de campo se ha hecho directamente con 56 informantes con descendencias mapuche/chilenos y uno de los objetivos de esta investigación es también analizar si existe una actitud positiva para la mantención y difusión de la lengua mapuche.

    Meänkieli i den yngre generationen: En undersökning av meänkielis ställning bland unga personer i fem norrbottniska kommuner2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med studien var att undersöka meänkielis ställning bland barn och ungdomar i Norrbotten. Undersökningen bygger på enkätsvar från elever i de fem Norrbottenskommuner där meänkieli är förvaltningsspråk. Både elever med och elever utan anknytning till meänkieli besvarade enkäten. Frågorna rörde deras förståelse och bruk av meänkieli, deras attityd till språket samt vad de tror om framtiden för språket.  

    Av undersökningen framkom att målgruppen i högre utsträckning förstår meänkieli än vad de själva kan tala språket. De flesta av respondenterna anser det inte viktigt att meänkieli i framtiden lever kvar som talat språk. Av de som i någon utsträckning förstår meänkieli tror drygt hälften att deras framtida barn i någon mån också kommer att förstå språket. Respondenterna med kunskaper i meänkieli tror i högre grad än de utan kunskaper att språket kommer att föras över till nästa generation. Många respondenter anser dock att riksfinska är viktigare att lära sig än meänkieli.

    Horrorsköna slovisar: Att översätta nadsat i Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange2020Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This essay aims at analysing and understanding different choices made by Caj Lundgren when he translated Anthony Burgess’s novel A Clockwork Orange (1962), more specifically when he translated the fictive language called Nadsat, which is one of the features that made this novel famous. The method used to analyse Lundgren’s translation is based on Reiß and Veermer’s (1984/2014) concept of skopos and functional equivalence. Conclusions drawn are that Lundgren uses a compensatory translation strategy, and that a model can be created for identification of Russian words in the original text’s Nadsat and the transfer of these words to the target text as Swedish Nadsat. In a comparison between Lundgren and two Russian translators’ strategies, their strategies are shown to differ, which could be caused by different translation problems dependent on the target languages.

    Han som aldrig dör: Sångöversättning av fem av Juan Gabriels sånger med kommentar2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 poäng / 15 hpOppgave
    Abstract [sv]

    I denna kandidatuppsatts redovisas och analyseras arbetet med att översätta fem sånger av Juan Gabriel från spanska till svenska (Ya lo sé que tú te vas, Hasta que te conocí, Vienes o voy, Abrázame muy fuerte och Yo te recuerdo) genom en översättningsteoretisk kommentar. I kommentaren presenteras en kort översikt av sångöversättningens olika aspekter, sedan analyseras källtexterna och till sist behandlas översättningsarbetet. Teorin utgår ifrån Johan Franzons funktionella sångöversättningsteori. Målet var att skapa sångbara översättningar med syfte att belysa komplexa problem som förekommer inom sångöversättning, speciellt från spanska till svenska. Utmaningar som dök upp under översättandet diskuteras och relevanta skillnader mellan språken presenteras.

    “mænige calfru, þæt synt lytle and niwe fynd”: A study of additions and changes in the translation of the prose psalms in the Paris Psalter2017Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    The prose translation of the fifty first psalms in the Paris Psalter is quite unique as an early medieval scriptural translation (O’Neill 2016 p. x). There have been several studies made on the Paris Psalter recently, most notably by Patrick O’Neill. One focus of several of these studies has been whether or not the Prose translation is connected to Alfred the Great. However, there is still much left in this translation that has not yet been studied. Something that can be noticed when studying the prose psalms is that throughout the translation the translator made several additions and changes to the psalms. There are several different kinds of additions in the prose psalms, the most common of these is the þæt ys/þæt synt (‘that is’/‘those are’) type. This study focuses on these additions, and it will be suggested that the translator has made additions and changes to the psalms to describe metaphors and concepts that an Anglo-Saxon reader might not have been able to understand without these additions.

    Selected topics in the grammar of Français Tirailleur: A corpus study2017Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 poäng / 30 hpOppgave
    Abstract [en]

    This corpus-based study describes some grammatical and lexical features of Français Tirailleur (FT), a pidgin spoken in the French colonial army from the mid-1800’s to the 1950’s. By examining the largest corpus available of the language, this study aims to (1) discern hitherto undescribed or strengthen previous claims about grammatical and lexical features of FT, (2) compare these features with its lexifier language and (3) identify changes over time. The corpus has been manually part-of-speech tagged and all noun phrases have been marked up. The results include a description of the form and function of the FT noun phrase, covering (pro)nouns and their modifiers as well as noun phrases with an embedded prepositional phrase. Furthermore, the apparent diachronic development of the expression même chose is analyzed, along with examples of circumlocution. FT is shown to differ from French in several respects, e.g. in substituting the demonstrative determiners ce(t)/cette with ça, but no signs of substrate influence are found. Contrary to intution about the simplex nature of pidgins, FT appears to follow French in placing certain adjectives before the noun, while postposing others. There remain several interesting aspects to explore in the grammar of FT, among them the elusive, multi-functional items ya and yena. Our further understanding of pidgins would benefit from more data and cross-linguistic comparison.
